    This has a visual quality I can’t quite put my finger on (as we say in English).

        With a group of people from various countries, I often can’t be sure who knows what idiomatic expression. Even between the United States and other English-speaking countries there are differences, so I generally follow the adage “When in doubt, spell it out” (and coincidentally “spell it out” might need some explaining in its own right).

        Yes, I know. I worked for a British/US company and there I noticed this a lot.

    One of my favourites of the ones you’ve posted recently, I particularly like the overlay effect here, like one of those 3D dioramas I used to make as a kid out of shoeboxes with a pinhole in the end.

      Actually, I worked a lot with overlays. I duplicated the picture and made an abstract colour version and a monochrome version that I merged later.

    This is at the same time so beautiful but also sad. That lonely person in red desires to be a part of something bigger. Now it’s isolation and loneliness.
    I do hope that person has the courage to stand up and step into the world.

    A very deep philosophical question, rabirius. Do we not, as humans, paint the moment. And, much as a photograph, does it not become a memory in our minds instilled forever. Brilliant work, my friend!

        Ich höre mir gerade das remasterte Anfangsalbum von Dir an (2tes insgesamt angehört)..
        Es ist spannend, wenn auch nicht für meine Frau.
        Ich fühle mich gut unterhalten.
        Das Album könnte auch von “Home Normal” sein oder?! Da habe ich einiges, wenn auch vieles auf Empfehlung.
        Ja, noch einmal: Spannend das alles 🙂
        Album 3 und 4 werden folgen 🙂
